Outdoor outfitter Thule has expanded its product range a great deal from the days when the brand was synonymous with equipping your car to transport your gear. Over the past few years, the Swedish imprint has grown into luggage, bags and accessories like laptop sleeves and child carriers. Among its versatile backpacks, the Paramount is the standout for the urban commuter. The Paramount collection is available in 24-, 27- and 29-liter sizes, all of which offer serious durability in the form of 420D nylon construction and welded bottom panels to protect your belongings from the elements. Though rugged, the Paramount is more than just a repurposed piece of outdoor equipment. The style is carefully designed for the city resident in mind with padded electronics and accessories pockets, two-way access to a padded laptop compartment, and comfy, breathable shoulder straps.

Take a look at the Thule Paramount bag in action above, and shop the bag, available in both red and black colors, on Thule’s web store starting at $130 USD.
